bpost has put CycloSafe on the market since 15th September. CycloSafe is a security cylinder with a chip that is easy to attach to cycles but very hard to remove.
Owners can register their CycloSafe-protected bike at www.CycloSafe.be. They can report it stolen or missing at the same website.
Post delivery staff are able to locate all bicycles equipped with CycloSafe protection using a scanner, while the police can also detect a CycloSafe-protected bike that has been reported stolen.
bpost launches the service in Bruges, Brussels, Ghent and Leuven, four cities with a very high bicycle theft rate, where a select number of post delivery staff will locate bicycles that carry a CycloSafe.
